R. C. Sproul
If you don’t delight in the fact that your Father is holy, holy, holy, then you are spiritually dead. You may be in a church. You may go to a Christian school. But if there is no delight in your soul for the holiness of God, you don’t know God. You don’t love God. You’re out of touch with God. You’re asleep to his character.
R. C. Sproul
The only freedom that man ever has is when he becomes a slave to Jesus Christ.
R. C. Sproul

R. C. Sproul
The Word of God can be in the mind without being in the heart but it cannot be in the heart without first being in the mind.
R. C. Sproul
A god who is all love, all grace, all mercy, no sovereignty, no justice, no holiness, and no wrath is an idol.
R. C. Sproul
If the final decision for the salvation of fallen sinners were left in the hands of fallen sinners, we would despair all hope that anyone would be saved.
R. C. Sproul
The gospel is the proclamation of the person and work of Jesus Christ and how those benefits can be applied to us by faith alone.
R. C. Sproul
God did not die. The God who took on Himself a human nature died in His humanity, but the deity did not perish on the cross.
